A&M-Commerce Department Of Counseling Well Represented At National Conference
COMMERCE, Texas — The Department of Counseling at Texas A&M University-Commerce was well represented at the 2021 Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES) national conference in Atlanta, Georgia, this past October, with several faculty members, current students and alumni in attendance.
Erika Schmit, Ph.D., said A&M-Commerce doctoral students are in a league of their own.
“Our doctoral students really are unparalleled. They are leaders in the field, outstanding licensed counselors and amazing students,” Schmit said. “I love learning about their expertise and research projects at professional conferences. To see such great representation from our faculty and doctoral students is extremely rewarding for me as the doctoral coordinator.”
Schmit and colleagues presented on a panel about publishing in counselor education. Their presentation was titled “Publish and Flourish: Trends and Suggestions for Meaningful Research Agendas.”
Donna Hickman, Ph.D., and colleagues presented “Is This Normal or is This COVID: First-year Faculty Experiences During the Time of COVID-19.”
Ajitha Chandrika Prasanna Kumaran, Ph.D., and colleagues presented “The Role of Gatekeeping in Online Learning: Best Practices to Facilitate Non-traditional Learning,” and “Creativity in the Classroom: A Systematic Content Analysis of the Journal of Creativity in Mental Health.”
Three third-year doctoral students participated in five presentations.
- Sarah Silveus and faculty member Edith Gonzalez, Ph.D., presented “It’s Not Us, It’s You: Reconsidering Imposter Syndrome Through the Lens of Internalized Oppression.”
- Danielle McGarrh and colleagues presented “Teaching About Addictions with Cultural Humility in Counselor Education Courses.”
- Silveus and Joy Teles Oliveira presented “Practicum Student Counselor Identity Development Through the COVID-19 Pandemic.”
- Oliveira also presented “International Students Counselor Identity Development” at the Southern Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (SACES) Graduate Student Lounge.

Crystal Brashear, Ph.D., who graduated from the doctoral program in Spring 2021, received the ACES Counseling Vision and Innovation Award.
Gonzalez said the university can be proud of its showing at the conference.
“The national representation of students, alumni and faculty at the ACES conference is a great moment for A&M-Commerce,” Gonzalez said. “For some students, these projects began in the classroom and then developed to present at a national, peer-reviewed conference. It really shows how outstanding we are in what we do, teach and research.”

Como-Pickton Youth Injured In Tree Trimming Accident Faces Long Recovery
Community fundraisers are planned and accounts have been established to benefit the Koby Crump Medical Fund for a local youth injured in a tree trimming accident, and a couple of schools are pitching in to help as well.
According to the Koby Crump Medical Expenses GoFundMe account established Dec. 1 by Nancy Attaway, Mike Harman and Terry Satterfield, 17-year-old Koby Crump suffered extensive damage to his spine during the accident while tree trimming Sunday.

The bake sale will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Como restaurant and continue until they’re all gone. Anyone who wants to donate items for the bake sale are invited to drop baked goods off at 9 a.m. Dec. 4 at Como Burgers & Fries. All proceeds from the sale of baked goods Saturday will go to Koby’s family to help with medical expenses. Monetary donations will also be accepted at the fundraiser as well.
Attaway and Kelli Williams reported a fund has also been established at City National Bank in Sulphur Springs for Koby Crump; just stop by any CNB branch and let them know the money is for the Koby Crump Benefit account. Attaway on Nov. 30 also reported via social media that donations may also be mailed to Koby Crump, c/o Como Mobile Pantry, PO Box 265, Como, TX 75431.
Donations may also be made online through the Koby Crump Medical Expenses Gofundme account. The group set a goal of $2,500. As of 11:10 a.m. Dec. 4 the fund had received 3 donations totaling $600. Click here to donate online.
The Students council at Como-Pickton CISD also sponsored a fundraiser Friday, Dec. 3, 2021, to allow Koby’s classmates and other students to help out if they wanted. For $1 students were allowed to wear a cap or hat at school, with proceeds going to Koby Crump’s family.
Saltillo FFA also is hosting a fundraiser to benefit Koby Crump’s family. Students at Saltillo ISD will be allowed to pay $1 per day starting today (Dec. 3) through Christmas break to be allowed to wear a hat to school. Saltillo FFA encourages students to “help us raise money for this family in their time of need.”
